Options:

Ravina said to her little brother where he was going to play.

Ravina asked her little brother where he would like to go to play.

Ravina asked her little brother where will he be going to play.

Correct Answer:

Ravina asked her little brother where he was going to play.

Explanation:
 The correct indirect form of the sentence is Ravina asked her little brother where he was going to play.

In indirect speech, the reporting verb (asked) is used in the past tense, and the pronouns are changed to reflect the new speaker. In this case, the speaker is Ravina, so the pronoun "you" is changed to "he". The question mark is also removed.
